Crane Lake Connection

Today I did "the galley pull." This means that I unloaded pallets on a loading dock all day. I did this with two other guys - one from materials and one from the galley. We took the items into freezers and dry storage, and pulled those things that needed to thaw for the next week of use. I think we pulled over 2 tons of meat to thaw. The quantity of food here is astronomical. It is absolutely crazy. I learned many things about running a kitchen in the middle of nowhere. This seems like a good knowledge.

The guy from materials, Ron, wore a La Croix BWCA shirt. Turns out he lives on Crane Lake Road and runs an outfitter there. Odd. I don't know why we chose Anderson's Outfitters so many years ago; random chance I suppose. We could have just as randomly selected Ron's outfitter. Then he would have been a very familiar face today. We talked about some of the lakes. I told him of our last trip. He visits those lakes in winter and says that the wolves in those parts are very active after September.

Being in the vicinity of the galley enabled me to check on the progress of the baked goods during the course of the day.
